In addition to her corporate roles, she launched a fashion lifestyle brand that included apparel, footwear, handbags, jewelry, and fragrance, although she decided to shut down the company in July two thousand eighteen.
In two thousand nine, Ivanka converted to Judaism prior to her marriage to Jared Kushner, a real estate developer. The couple is blessed with three children. In January two thousand seventeen, she began serving as an unofficial advisor in her father's presidential administration, and by March of that year, she became an official employee. During her time in the White House, she faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest due to her continued ownership of various businesses.
